The flowers frequently display elaborate patterns and markings, enhancing their overall attractiveness. - Growth Habit: These orchids usually have long, curved stems that carry many flowers. The leaves are elongated and tough, arranged in a fan-like pattern near the bottom of the plant. Cymbidiums have the potential to reach significant sizes, which can make them striking enhancements to gardens or indoor areas. - Cymbidiums are culturally significant in many Asian communities, symbolizing good fortune, longevity, and morality. Orchids are viewed as emblems of sophistication and companionship in traditional Chinese society. - Cymbidium orchids are recognized for their versatility and durability, allowing them to thrive in many growth situations. They can flourish in both indoor and outdoor settings, as long as they are given the proper care. - Cymbidiums thrive in cool to intermediate temperatures and require bright, indirect light. Orchids are often grown in a well-draining mix, often made of bark. Proper watering, fertilizer, and sufficient air circulation enhance their health and flowering success. - Blooming Season: The flowering period of Cymbidiums differs based on the particular variety and growing environment. Typically, they bloom in the colder months, particularly in winter or early spring, and some types have fragrant flowers. - Cymbidiums have been frequently hybridized, leading to a large variety of cultivars with different colors, patterns, and forms due to their popularity. Hybridization has enhanced the variety of Cymbidiums to cater to various tastes and habitats. - Cymbidium orchids are commonly displayed in orchid displays and exhibitions, when lovers and growers get together to admire and celebrate their love for these beautiful flowers.

Download or read book The Fortune Hunters written by Charlotte Hays and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Madame de Pompadour, the famed mistress of Louis XV, to Pamela Harriman, who married into the English aristocracy and the American plutocracy, there is a rich history of women who have found glamour and wealth in the arms of a billionaire. But contrary to what you may think, fortune hunting is no idle pursuit. Like diving for treasure, it’s a real job. Some women strive to be CEOs; others prefer to wed them. You'll meet today's dazzling successes in this book. What kind of woman does it take to make the Midas marriage? Exploring the lives of the great fortune hunters of our day, reporter and former gossip columnist Charlotte Hays answers this tantalizing question. You’ll learn about the South Carolina woman who took a trip around the world with a shadowy shipping magnate, only to meet and marry a philandering marquis. You’ll see what methods these women use to lure their powerful men, including one playful fortune seeker who, at a very high-society soirée, hurled a piece of bread at her intended beau, starting a food fight. You’ll meet the New York socialite who remarried so quickly after a divorce, her ex claimed she was a bigamist. What are their recipes for riches? Can a genuinely nice woman pursue this career? What does love have to do with it? With original interviews and photos, Hays casts a light on the determination, skill, and---yes, sometimes---ruthlessness that have shaped some of the most successful---and lucrative---unions of our time.
